Abstract
The Anglo-Irish Treaty gave most of Ireland substantive political independence; not full sovereignty as a republic, rather partial sovereignty, as a dominion: the Irish Free State, which became part of the British Empire. Thus, in 1922 Ireland took its place among the dominions. Each greeted it differently. Australia and New Zealand were wary before becoming quite hostile; Canada and South Africa were consistently positive; and Newfoundland was positive and then a little concerned. These reactions to Irish independence reflected four things: attitudes towards Irish nationalism; feelings towards Irish immigrant communities; each country’s sense of national identity; and the direction in which each country wanted to develop its sovereignty. Another reaction to Irish independence came from Indian nationalists who were seeking dominion status and derived huge encouragement from Ireland. Newly independent Ireland’s diplomatic stance also set the tone for how its foreign policy would evolve.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
